Free heat network course

A new fully-funded 15-minute course designed to provide an essential introduction to heat networks has been launched by GTEC.

Covering the design and feasibility of heat networks for various applications, the course can be accessed remotely and contributes towards CPD points.

Funding has been awarded by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), which plans to accelerate the rollout of heat networks by identifying geographical areas where they are expected to provide the lowest cost solution for decarbonising heat (heat network zoning).

Griff Thomas, MD of GTEC, part of the United Living Group, said: “With much potential to decarbonise built-up environments, the government sees heat networks as an important growth area for the UK, sustaining jobs, boosting the economy and helping urban and out-of-town commercial developments move away from fossil fuels.

“Our course will provide those with an interest in district heating with the background information to make informed decisions, equipping candidates with the fundamentals of this approach to multi-building heating: whether they’re designing, installing or managing heat networks in the future.”

Funded training places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. To secure your place, visit: gtec.co.uk/funded-heat-network-training
